Here is my workaround to force HDMI reconnect that i use for some time now on all my devices RPi4, RPi5, Vero 4k+, Intel N100

For this to work you need System -> Player -> Videos -> adjust display refresh rate -> On Start (or Start/stop should work too)

SSH to you device

wget https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/hdmi-switch.tar.gz
tar -xvf hdmi-switch.tar.gz
# try e.g.
hdmi-switch/bin/switch-23-50-60.sh

If you now put that on a button on your remote you can fix this pretty fast every time you need. As example for a BT Keyboard long press F5 as config in a keyboard.xml.

<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
            <f5 mod="longpress">System.Exec(/storage/hdmi-switch/bin/switch-23-50-60.sh)</f5>
        </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap>

I did test Generic, RPi5 and RPi4 with my smb mounts.

If you want to boot local and not from the Network any NVMe SSD as ASUS docu says will do. I used my spare Sasmung 970 Evo 500 GB (way to big).

Yes there are many less expensive N100 boxes even some are fanless, but most likely you never see a BIOS update and for the Feature CIR and CEC i did not see anywhere else.
I just did send a HUNSN BM34 back. Nice Box but no wakeup at all except WOL. No CIR or CEC either. Dont really need any of these features, but to be able to use standby, IR or USB wakeup even from S5 is nice. When my Harmony Elite gives up i maybe need to change my setup and use CEC and/or CIR.

Widescreen With some help i have my N100 now running perfect (for what i do). I needed to patch the kernel to workaround that problem.

If you want to use LE a patched image is here https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/11.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/.

Any other Linux distro has most likely the same that you can read here Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100).

Kodi did break MySQL more then one time with the update 21b2 ff.

I rolled my community build back to a version that works for me. Any of my 240109 should do but not 240110.

Or better use LE11 if you don't need 12.

Works perfect here with 11.0.4.

Yup kind of the same here with RPi2 (not anymore), RPi4, RPi5, i3-8100, Vero 4k+ and very new Intel N100 all connected to X6700H to LG 55E6D. It is not the Pis it is Denon i fear. Intel is slightly less annoying . The X4500H before was not much better. I have all HDMI CEC off. The RPis and Denon do not really like each other. So far I did not find anything, but I leaned from you guys Denon Input switch helps. Did not know or try that before. Thanks.

So now i established my new baseline where i can reproduce a working and a non working version with LE11 and LE12

LE11 11.0.4-#240109 https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/11.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/
- Generic-ADL10 is working perfect for me with Intel N100
- Generic-BT2020 is the counterpart without the 10 bit patch as the only difference
- tested 1 movie 1st BT2020 after 3x (about 5mnin) audio glitches switch to ADL10 and the rest was flawless
- sources https://github.com/sky42src/LibreELEC.tv/tree/11.0.4-240109

LE12 11.80.5-#240109 https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/12.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/
(i would not use LE12, because kodi + mysql is at the moment very wonky and OS nfs4 is broken too)
- 2x downgrades in my 11.80.5-#240109 release to get mysql and OS nfs4 working
- Generic-ADL10 is working perfect for me with Intel N100
- Generic is the counterpart without the 10 bit patch as the only difference
- tested 1 movie 1st Generic after 3x (about 3min) audio glitches switch to ADL10 and the rest was flawless

Heads up cifs/nfs4 OS mounts broken in my ADL10 images. Kodi still can do smb/nfs directly.
https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/11.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/

chewitt I see your point, doing that is not my forte. The kernel hack is very specific to the GPU generation and i am not sure one could do that in kodi too.

here is a new Generic device with a patch of smp that restrict playback to 10 bit on Intel 12th CPUs and later and in doing so HD Audio playback is perfect in 2160p @ 23.976 Hz and UHD BD works still too with HDR.

https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/11.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/

Not yet well tested, but it works for me (the last 90min) in solving ONLY the problem of this thread without using one of the 2 workarounds i described here (so remove them when you use this image).

jordiboy I have a Intel N100 HUNSN BM34 too that is lets say interesting, that one i will send back. A bit cheaper as my ASUS PN42, but the ASUS PN42 is the perfect LE x86_64 box in my opinion. Hopefully this 3rd workaround fixes my last Problem.

smp thank you so much! I will build LE11 and LE12 images next week (today family party)

verified 4k HDR playback UHD BD remux TrueHD Atmos played perfect too in a 30min test

verified autostart.sh workaround activation and uploaded my autostart.sh to https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/proptest/
